In fact, they seem almost too good ...

For the uninitiated, pain may seem the very opposite of the pleasures of sex. Yet when one thinks about the subject of sex, one is often struck with the fact of certain elements of cruelty. From the friendly pat on the lovely round butt of one's girl to the sometimes sensual spankings that take place between married couples, to the more brutal fact of sex crimes, it is obvious to anyone that pain and sexuality are different sides of the same coin.

Well. This rather stunning work is the tale of a dark and evil banker who, holding notes on a local dressmaker, educates her on the perils of capitalism through hand, mouth, switch and other appendages. This is a pre-bankruptcy reform act work, so payment in full is required, and the entire family's liable for the principle, with interest. Additional: I don't know where the heck this book came from originally, but as the late, great Rudolph Spoerer noted, there's something to the author. H...
